Episode notes

We think there's a substantial benefit our business has to using like basically large language models or vision language models. And so we will most likely not be building our own language models, but being able to train vision language models on the robot system. The more robots we can get into market collecting data, the smarter our fleet of robots will become in the future and the more applications the robot will learn how to do.

In this episode, Peter and Brett discuss the future of humanoid robots, predicting that there could be up to 10 billion humanoids on Earth in the coming decades. Adcock shares his vision for creating autonomous general-purpose humanoids that can be inserted into the economy to perform physical labor, making it a choice rather than a necessity.
